I take your point, thats why I have ordered the correct receiver and I will get the system modified to split the HW from CH, for the moment like you say HW is not an issue. My current setup will be updated in the next week or so. Thank you for your advice.

Thanks for your reply yeah hive is pretty good, but hive customer support only favour gas boilers, they stated that the single channel wouldn't work with my set up but it did☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️

No problem it is all sorted apart from splitting the hw from ch. But very happy with hive so far.

Ha ha very funny, I stand corrected patience.

Update managed to get it working proerly today with the single zone receiver, I will however take the good advice given here by Stem and ericmark, I have ordered a dual channel receiver and will get modifications done to split HW from CH, many thank for the support

Many thanks for your reply; I have fitted standard TRV’s to almost all rads on the system, I suppose I thought if I could use something like the hive and effectively run the CH more or less 24/7 that the boiler would only be used to maintain a more comfortable temp throughout the house. I had...

Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and your Patients

Hi, your right again of course, and I must sincerely apologise for the confusion the boiler is gravity fed from the tank in the loft. Stupidly I thought I could replace the time switch with the hive acting as a time switch and switching the boiler on as required with additional functionality of...

Hi Ericmark, thanks for the reply, sorry if I've caused some confusion but it's not a thermostat that I'm replacing it's a simple on off timer RWB7 fed by 3amp switch fused spur, on the switched side it's just a 3 core wire going to the oil boiler, then it splits out to oil burner, boiler...

Hi, thank you for sharing your knowledge, if I'm understanding you correctly all I need to do is have 2 SL feeds from the hive to the boiler, 1 for the boiler and 1 for the pump. Is that right? Oh and the installtion of a motorised valve because it's the same pump that pumps to hot water cylinder.

Hi, I see what your saying. This is the forum where I'd seen this https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/threads/sparkies-please-wiring-hive-to-control-immersion-heater.18818331/ Given what you have said I don't think that even the 2 channel hive will work for me without rewiring the boiler and pump...

Hi Stem, many thanks for your detailed reply, there is no separate switch for the pump as the boiler is prewired and only becomes live when time programmer completes the circuit. I have contacted screwfix and arranged return of the single channel receiver and ordered a dual channel one in it's...

Hi Stem, thanks for the reply, yes you are spot on my system is pumped heating and gravity fed hot water, I got the instruction from the screwfix forum where someone else had a similar setup. My understand was that the duel channel was only for a system whereby the 2 channels were split hot...

Thanks guys for getting back to me, if I put a link from L to 1 it blows the fuse, I tried this earlier, thank god for fused spurs, thanks for the replys.

Below picture shows wiring for RWB 7 if that hepls, I had a link wire from perm live to 2 for 240v switching and internal wiring
